Chester Nimitz:Chester William Nimitz was born in Fredericksburg, Texas on February 24, 1885. He went on to become the Commander in Chief for the United States military. In July of 1908, he was accused of neglect on duty, but his many awards prior to being accused, saved his job. During World War I, Nimitz was in charge of the diesel powered oiler Maumee. He helped ships refuel. His work over the years led Henry Knox to reccommend him to FDR as commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet in 1941. Nimitz main objective was to protect the islands of Hawaii. Their plan would help to save lives across the Central Pacific region. During the Battle of Midway, he asked Marc A. Mitscher to set up three carriers for ambush. His strategy allowed the United States to sink four Japanese ships and a United States victory.

Marc A. Mitscher:Marc A. Mitscher was an Leutennant in the Military during and eventually helped Col. Jimmy Doolittle and 25 army B medium bombers on a raid on Japanese mainland. Mitscher's attack did not cause much damage to the Japanese, but did fore Japan to increase their defensive perimeter. The same ship that was used in the raid, the hornet, was used to help sink four Japanese ships. This led to Americans to win the Battle of Midway. After this battle, he he led a group of the navy, army, marine, and New Zealand pilots in the Battle of Guadalcanal in which they sunk 17 vessels, and drowned 470 aircrafts including a ship carrying Yamamoto Isoroku.

Yamamoto Isoroku:Graduated from the Japanese Naval Academy in 1904, he was wounded in action during the Russo-Japanese War. Yamamoto attended the Japanese Navy's Staff College during the "teens" and later studied at Harvard University. As a Captain, he served as Naval Attache to the United States in 1925-28. In the late 1920s and during the 1930s, he held a number of important positions, many of them involved with Japanese naval aviation. Admiral Yamamoto commanded the Combined Fleet before the outbreak of the Pacific War and during its first sixteen months. He was responsible for planning the Attack on Pearl Harbor and most other major operations during this time. His scheme for eliminating the U.S. fleet as a major opponent led to the June 1942 Battle of Midway, in which the Japan lost naval superiority in the Pacific. Despite Midway's adverse outcome, Yamamoto continued as Combined Fleet commander through the following Guadalcanal Campaign , which further depleted Japan's naval resources. While on an inspection tour in the Northern Solomon Islands, he was killed in an aerial ambush by U.S. Army Air Force planes on 18 April 1943. Isoroku Yamamoto was posthumously promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet.
